Download the printer driver again, and DO NOT SAVE IT TO YOUR DESKTOP. Save it to a directory on your hard drive. Most of us create a new folder called "My Downloads" and save our downloaded files to a seperate folder under that location. In other words, the create a folder in "My Downloads" named "Lexmark X1270" and save the file to this folder. When the download completes, click on the "Run" command, not close. You can also click on open folder and then double click on the file your saved in this folder which should be named "cjr1200EN.exe" .

Go to Lexmark x1270 Support and click on the Downloads tab. Available software is listed. You will need to know what Operating System you use. Select the correct Download Now link.

I suggest that when the download window opens you select Save and direct it to save the file to your Desktop. That way it will be there if you need it again, or you can copy it to a CD also.

Prepare your printer: Ink, paper, etc.Connect the USB cable. (If you get any New Hardware Found windows just Cancel them.) Then, double-click the file on your desktop that you downloaded. That will install your printer driver and software. You should be good to go then.

Thanks for using Fixya.

NOTE: That original link also has tabs for manuals (Publications) and also help with installing drivers (Top Documents). If you have any trouble just Comment back.
